“You deserve to be saved.”

• this isn’t part of the pilot but it feels like the fact that dean was based on a bisexual character who was based on a bisexual man should be in this post somewhere 
• bi set design at the gas station 
• dean flirts with both jess and the male cops (on two different occasions) (meta)

• dean checks out every male mechanic in the airplane hangar, smiling and leering at all of them, without paying attention to the planes. (meta)
• man on the plane winks at dean, dean is taken aback but waves anyway before carrying on with the EMF meter. the man apparently had a gaydar which dean was definitely on. (meta)

• first guy they see is a guy bent over the hood of a car, eating a banana. the guy then notices dean and can’t stop staring at him.
• dean checks out a half naked guy, while reading ‘Backside’ magazine. tells sam he missed a spot near the guy’s butt after looking at it
• dean checks out a guy at the party and winks at him, and then a few moments later, turns around to check him out again, and then again when they’re leaving.
• dean is disappointed he can’t hook up with someone that night; says it while staring at the same guy (meta #1, #2)

• dean has the sports section of the newspaper next to his bed, even though dean isn’t shown to have any interest in the sport. dean is also mostly naked, and his right hand is beneath the covers. (meta)

• dean gets given the heart of an openly gay teacher (meta)

• dean winks at a bunch of men at a bar, before spending an hour in the men’s bathroom. coincidence?
• the bar set includes a sign saying ‘men’s’ and another sign saying ‘thursday night meat’ 
• dean fondles a man’s pelvis bone the next day
• meta, more meta

• dean gets the number of a bartender, speaks about them in gender neutral terms. sam asusmes it’s a girl, but dean doesn’t seem interested at all in the woman bartender; suggesting that the number is from the male bartender (meta) 
• dean has the number of a guy named caleb written down, who dean calls and caleb helps him with the case. dean says it’s their dad’s friend caleb, but the area code suggests he’s gotten the number recently. if it had been their dads friend, he would have had the number in his cellphone already, seeing as he calls him in 1x10 (meta)

• the first shot after the cold open is of the word ‘bi’ and nothing else, followed by the second shot, which is of course a shot of dean

• dean sees ash on the pool table, turns around but looks back to check out his ass
• ash tells dean he likes him, dean says thanks, dean and ash staring at each other until jo pulls their attention away, sam looks lowkey awkward
• dean does his flirty face when ash winks at him
• dean tells ash to call him, then does his pleased-with-himself smirk 
• dean drinks from a beer bottle with cupid’s bow and arrow on it, and then ash drinks from dean’s bottle 
• ash makes a queer movie reference (pink flamingos) then watches dean to see his reaction, to gauge dean’s interest level 
• dean/ash meta

• sam calls for ash, but he doesn’t answer the door. the second dean calls for him, ash opens the door, naked 
• contrast between sam and dean’s reactions to seeing ash naked- sam is surprised, but quickly gets over it and  goes about his business.  dean, on the other hand gets a look at ash’s dick and screws his eyes shut. His reaction is overblown. he avoids looking at his in an extremely pronounced way. his reaction is not in proportion to what is happening in the scene. just before, he had dodged the eyes of Jo, his designated female love interest at the time, in the same way. he basically has the same reaction to Jo and to Ash, but Ash is way more naked. (roughly quoted from)  
• dean/jo and dean/ash parallels
• dean/ash meta 
• dean tell’s sam ‘it’s like being roofied man, it doesn’t count’ which sounds like something a closeted guy would say, like ‘we were drunk man, it doesn’t count’ or ‘it was only blow jobs man, it doesn’t count’. this also suggests that dean has done things with other men while roofied or drunk. (while doing stuff with men under the influence of roofies doesn’t necessarily make you bisexual, the way in which dean says it suggests that ‘it didn’t count!’ is an excuse he’s used before)

• hotel owner asumes dean and sam are queer;  dean then brings it up afterwards, asking sam why everyone assumes they’re gay. (meta) 
• sam says ‘Well, you are kinda butch. Probably think you’re overcompensating’
• dean’s reaction

• madison says ’you get a few scotches in him and he started hitting on anyone in a five-mile radius. you know the type.’ sam, after looking at dean, says he does know the type.(notice the gender neutral terms)

• dean flirting with the cop taking his picture 
• dean wants to go to the prison to help deacon, and even though sam keeps saying they should leave, dean refuses. he seems to like deacon a lot and wants his respect. 
• dean and deacon were very hands on during the episode

• ash is wearing a new watch that he hasn’t worn in previous episodes, but dean is able to identify him by it later in the episode, suggesting that dean’s visited ash a few times off-screen
• dean is paralleled to lily; who killed her girlfriend by touching her, and the scene cuts directly from dean’s touching of dead ash to her. 

• when ellen brings up what happened at the roadhouse, we see this reaction shot of dean, but none of sam even though he was also friends with ash, suggesting dean is more bothered by his death

• doublemint twins; dean having a m/m/f threesome. (meta: #1, #2, #3)
• a song with the lyrics  ‘any love is good love’ plays while dean is in the motel with the twins

• dean’s happy to see ritchie, but his face falls when he sees the woman in ritchie’s room
• ritchie goes into sam and dean’s room, and dean immediately begins taking off his clothes like it’s something he’s used to doing in front of this guy. (which it probably is. dean saved ritchie from a succubus in the past, so they’re obviously intimately familiar.) he takes off his fed suit clothes and rolls up his sleeves, something we’ve never seen him do before this moment on the show (meta)
• dean checks out the demon!priest guy when they’re done interviewing him

• dean asks if sam’s having a sexual dream about angelina jolie, or brad pitt. dean thinks that it’s normal and completely understandable to make ‘happy noises’ while dreaming of brad pitt.

• dean’s deaths are all euphemisms for sex (meta) 

• dean says that if his life could be a movie, he’d pick porky’s 2. (meta)

• dean gets drunk and flirts with a cop
• sam has to pull him away (while coincidentally, a mural of wild horses is painted on the wall behind them)

• mentions duchovny, makes a thinking-about-sexy-stuff face, noticies sam is looking and quickly schools his expression
• ‘sub’ / ‘that’d be me!’

• dean’s siren is a man (meta)
• dean x nick mirrored with sam and the woman doctor
• dean ignores the strippers, his attention on nick
• sam and dean both thought the siren infected victims through sex; and when sam finds out dean’s been infected, he immediately accepts that dean apparently had sex with the siren, no surprise or hesitance.
• actor who played nick says ‘(nick) enjoyed having control over these boys in a sexual way. It’s a strange way to describe it. Considering the Siren initially appears as a female that seduced men, it was almost as if gender wasn’t a factor for it.’

• says bert and ernie are gay right before telling cas he’s not going to let him die a virgin. how do these things correlate?
• dean makes two references to queer characters- thelma and louise and bert and ernie
• compares himself and cas to thelma and louise

• cas and the orgy girls are waiting for dean to get there before starting the orgy, suggesting it’s something dean takes part in and is a normal part of their lives at the camp. 2014!dean is obviously comfortable enough to let cas see him naked, at the very least
• dean canonically likes to wear woman’s underwear. while this doesn’t necessarily mean he’s bisexual, it does show that dean does project stuff like this (onto sam mostly, which we saw when dean asked sam if the bra was his) and it also shows that dean isn’t the macho man that he appears to be on the surface.
• cas winks at dean, and dean does the thing with his mouth that he does when he sees something hot and desirable (see it here too) (meta)

• dean jerking off to the thought of a male nurse

• he looks at a naked guy’s crotch unnecessarily (they already knew it was the guy they were looking for because of the arm tattoo, credit card and driver’s license they’d already seen)
• tells said guy that he looks great

• comes out of a closet into TV land
• intensely watches dr sexy make out with someone on TV
• gets visibly flustered when he sees dr sexy, similar to how a girl would react over seeing their male crush 
• thinks dr sexy is sexy (in cowboy boots) ‘what makes dr sexy sexy is he fact that he wears cowboy boots, not tennis shoes’
• men/women sign behind his head suggesting bisexuality

• dean is visibly happy and smiley while thinking of the queer sam and dean cosplayers once he’s by himself (meta)

• dean checks out men/looks at men as though he’s hungry for them. (which he probably is, seeing as it’s the famine episode.) examples: cas, cupid (meta #1 #2)
• bi flag colors when cupid hugs dean and cas

• three episodes after this, dean tells cas ‘the last person who looked at me like that i got laid’. who’s the last person to look at dean ‘like that’? digger wells. carver wrote both of these episodes, so it’s not coincidental. (meta)
• digger asks dean ‘who died and made you queen?’ not king. 

• dean imagines fucking gabriel

• dean x sid; sid has been buying him beers for a year, dean bothered by the sight of sid with his wife, dean more interested in sid than hot waitresses (meta)

• dean thinks two men having sex is sexy. (the non sexy kind of drilling, right?)

• dean mirroring cas’ body language as he kisses meg

• dean fangirls over eliot ness
• sam asks dean if he’s strictly into dick now
• checks out a guy’s ass instead of girls (checks him out in the same way as he would a girl) 
• eliot then drags dean into the store away from the guys he was checking out, similarly to how sam did in yellow fever.
• fan fiction gap! eliot tells dean he needs to get him more clothes (at night time, in the interrogation room) then dean leaves with eliot. next scene, it’s the day time and they’re at the tailors.

• teaches charlie how to flirt with a man
• dean/charlie parallels (ex. charlie being gay and loving female characters, similar to how dean loves dr sexy)

• dean asks ‘spanky the demon. yeah, i heard about you. you’re the one who uses too much teeth, right?’ 

• the people from the video think that sam and dean are queer, and also that dean says awesome too often. unlike in Playthings, dean doesn’t ask ‘why do these guys think we’re gay?’ instead, he asks sam if he says awesome a lot, to which sam replies ‘ no. no, no. no.’ (meta)  

• dean sarcastically says he was in purgatory, miami (a gay bar)

• the scene between dean and cas is inherently romantic. 
• cas knows where dean is- how? because angels can sense longing. otherwise, cas would have had no way of finding dean straight out of purgatory. (meta) 
• dean blatantly checks out cas when he comes out if the bathroom all clean. 
• the camera pans up cas’ body as it would in a romance movie, from dean’s pov.  (meta)

• grandaddy winchester comes out of the closet, mirrors dean 
• dean x closets subtext (meta) 
• sam says ‘when one of us falls out of your closet-’ and the camera pans staight to dean.

• uses the alias of a bisexual person (mark bolan) 
• flirts with aaron
• flustered and cute at the fact aaron is interested in him
• the only reason dean turna aaron down is because ‘it’s a federal thing’, not because he ‘doesn’t swing that way.’
• visibly disappointed at lack of gay thing (meta)
• meta on the way dean closes his FBI badge to talk to aaron
• not in the episode, but in the director’s commentary, they talk about ‘the potential for love in all places’ in reference to dean/aaron 
• a guy dressed like cas walks behind dean during the dean/aaron bar scene

• bi!flag set design after we were told to pay attention to the set. (meta)
• scripted ‘I love you’

• dean confirms he watches m/m/f porn
• dean’s reaction when seeing that cupid brought two men together. meta
• bisexual colors in the background
• arrow symbolism (arrow coming from cas and pointing at dean, similar to how there was a man with a bow an arrow on the tv between the two men.)

• sam asks dean “you’re not even gonna see cas while you’re there? then what’s the point?” when he finds out that dean is going to drive 14 hours to idaho, suggesting that unless dean visits cas while he’s there, there’s no point going even though there’s a case there and people are dying 
• the music when dean watches cas through the window of the gas n’ sip is the same music from when sam was watching amelia through the window in 8x09
• dean is visibly bothered by the fact cas is going on a date, but hides it from cas
• fan fiction gaps! there’s actually two in this episode- even though only one is really talked about. there’s one before they get to nora’s, from when cas asks for a ride (in which it’s daytime) and when they get to nora’s (at night) and there’s another one after nora’s, in which they leave (at night) and get back to the gas n’ sip the next day. what did they do during those hours? we’ll never know. 
• dean says ‘you’re human, now’ and pointedly looks at cas’ lap. (meta)
• their goodbye is decidedly not how you would say goodbye to a friend. if you were to take out that scene and place it into a gay romance movie, it would fit in perfectly.
• dean tells cas to take off his vest and unbutton his shirt, then seems to check him out. 
• nora doesn’t look back at cas after their last scene together, like it seems she would. dean does.

• dean gets back to the bunker and sam asks what happened to his arm, to which answers ‘oh, it was a gft from cain.’ sam then asks ‘like…the wrestler?’ (like seriously, what does sam think does in his spare time? go out and roll around with wrestlers?) dean then answers ‘i wish, that would be awesome.’ long story short, dean wants to get pinned down and roughed up by a wrestler.

• ’best of both worlds, salty and sweet’  
• instead of telling sam about canyon valley he shows him a video instead, which coincidentally involves a hot (occasionally topless) dude that is definitely dean’s type
• acts awkward towards larry when they met, getting lost in his eyes and grinning a lot (meta)  
• guy tells dean to stop flirting with his trainer, assumes dean is into guys
• dean says he relates to a girl saying it’s nice to have cushion when having sex with a guy. 
• meta on the whole ep

• dean spanks harry’s ass for no apparent reason

• completely comfortable with crowley seeing his dick after having sex with ann-marie
• he and crowley fuck male triplets together. (jensen also gets very awkward while mark is talking about the triplets in sdcc, immediately says ‘next question’)

• goes to a gay bar 
• the bartender leaves dean alone at the bar, completely trusts him to be in there alone. they were obviously friendly with each other. 

• guy tells dean to get on his knees, and dean replies ‘well i’m awfully flattered but..’ instead if his usual ‘i dont swing that way’ response. meta

• the wall behind dean when he’s talking about destiel is pink and blue 
• responds to sam’s questioning the same way as he did with cassie in season one

• dean comes across a man and woman in a closet. i wonder what that could possibly mean?

• dean listens to taylor swift and doesn’t turn it off (meta) (more meta)

• dean is visibly worried that ‘nothing is ever deleted off of the internet’, even though it’s canon that sam knows that dean watches anime porn online and was on a dating site to look for women, i wondr what he’s possibly hiduing? 
• checks out a dude pretty blatantly 
• ‘halt and catch fire’ is a tv show about a bisexual man
• wears his bisexual colored shirt again

• the episode was full of homoerotic subtext (even if it was with the character that no one likes) 

• dean says there are things, feelings, he want to experience differently, or for the first time. (meta) (watch) 
• bisexual color lighting in the church

• dean visits donnie at a bar he obviously goes to often and without sam.
• donnie is sad that dean doesn’t sit at the bar and talk to him, hinting that it’s something that dean usually does. says ‘I guess I’m by myself, then’ when dean walks away. proving that dean usually sits at the bar with donnie rather than try to pick up chicks, as some would assume
